The host was easy to communicate with and responsive. The house was as advertised. The beds and furnishings were very comfortable and maintainedAll in all it was a great place for a family friend gathering!
Beautiful house, large kitchen, comfortable beds and a great game rooom to keep the kids busy. The host was very friendly and super fast to answer any questions.
Had a couple, 3 men and 4 youth between 13 and 18. Leaves enough beds and even had enough dining room chairs for everyone! (We do our own cooking, one seems to be king of the grill while another can go to the fridge and panty and come up with a gourmet meal from scratch).. Enjoyable time.
This was a great place to disconnect and spend quality time with family! The game room was great for the younger teens and there was plenty of room at the dining room table for all of us, making meals a wonderful time to reconnect.
We loved being able to be all together in one location. The property was amazing. The views were great. The deer were everywhere. The host was responsive and very nice.
Awesome vacation. House is beautiful, lake was perfect for boating and floating, game room was a great way to end each day. David was easy to work with. Thank you!
This was the perfect weekend. My husband and I along with our 3 daughters, their husbands, children rented this amazing house for a long weekend to spend time together. The house was perfect for us. Places for the kids to play, places to gather with everyone, and even a quiet room when you need to get away from the kids. It was perfect. The host was amazing as well. We hope to rent again.
This location was the perfect spot to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday! Family from Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York all loved our stay. The Host is 100% a great host and communicator! The local wildlife, the proximity to Nashville, the opportunity to rent a pontoon and spend a day on the lake, to having Triplet's BBQ cater a large family dinner all made for an abolute amazing experience!
This property worked really good for our family to get together for a few days. Everyone enjoyed the rec room! Kayaks were used by some as well.. kitchen was nice and big with plenty of counter space and cooking supplies.
I can not say enough about this property and the host. David was very easy and responsive to talk with. He made sure we had everything we needed and knew all the "rules" of the house. We had our family reunion here and everyone raved about how much they enjoyed the venue. It was large enough to house most of our out of town guests and had great amenities. The kids loved the game room and garage for playing in. The house was mostly clean with it being as large as it is I can understand the cleaning crew can only do so much so maybe picking a room to "deep" clean once a month would easily do the trick. I and my family are hoping to rent again next year.
Wonderful house with plenty of room and a fantastic location. Amenities were top-notch. Good communication. A friend from Canada left her phone at the house and the owner overnighted it to where she was staying in Illinois. Will definitely recommend this to friends!

Beautiful property. Fabulous Lake Barkley. Very large house for all to spread out. Any small issues were discussed and work through.
The property and house were excellent. Everyone loved the amenities (especially the game room) provided. The patio and yard were awesome. We saw deer every day go across the property. Plenty of room for all of us. I would highly recommend for large groups.
We very much enjoyed our stay, It was a hot week so the game room kept us entertained during the day!!
Great amenities and appliances for a large gathering!
Boat slip provided accommodated my fish and ski perfectly!! Lots of wildlife sneaking around the quiet community as well!!
Only con was the windows needed a good cleaning!
We liked the house. The pictures we saw when we rented showed a clear view of the lake. We could see the lake but not like the picture showed. Also, The slip for my friends boat was farther and not as easy to get to as we thought. David was very nice and answered any questions quickly. We are staying again so I guess that says we liked it.
We had a total of 16 people ranging in age from 8-82. My husband and I, our 4 children and their spouses, our 5 grandchildren, and my 82 yo father. This was our annual family Christmas. We have been doing this since our 14 year old grandsons first Christmas, and the consensus was that this was the best one yet! The house was perfect for our family! Beds were comfortable, plenty of room to spread out, and the game room was a huge hit with both the kids and the adults! Will definitely stay again!
Love, love this home, This is our third time staying here, hope to stay here again. Love everything about it, but description is right - that says nature view, don't expect a lake view here. We did see lots of deer, but wish we had lake view instead. Can't see why owner doesn't have some of it cleared off. The new owner the last two years has made some great improvements otherwise. Great for our large family, plenty of room and things to do in rec room. Kitchen is great too. (only suggestion would be one large kitchen trash can, the 2 small ones for 16 people, keeps someone busy emptying those out.) Hope to book again. Love it.
We had a group of 12 guys (for a golf trip). We needed 2 air matresses to accommodate all with a bed, but that was not an issue at all. There is plenty of room in some of the bedrooms for an extra mattress. The house was excellent. It's beautiful and has plenty of room for people to spread out. Having the games and other activities was very nice. It worked perfectly for our group. The only downside (which was explained to us in advance) is that there is no dock access from the property. As they explained, you can get in the lake from the property, but it's shallow and muddy (and there were a lot of logs and stuff floating, but it had rained a lot, so I suspect that may not always be the case). I'm not sure if the lot is zoned for allowing a dock, but if so, that is the only thing I can think of to improve. Our group had an excellent time staying here and will likely book again next year.
My family of 10 came together from across the country to spend 4 days enjoying a relaxing reunion by the lake. We got just that! This home is spacious, beautiful and filled with every amenity a family could want. I don’t think the online photos do the house justice.
There are two refrigerators, a freezer, two dishwashers, a compact icemaker, a microwave, a bar with a mini-fridge in the greatroom, a bar and mini-fridge between downstairs bedrooms, a coffee bar, a large gameroom, fireplaces, grills...the list just goes on and on. There is something for everyone...young and old!
The home is situated in a quiet lakeside community with daily deer visits in the beautiful, scenic backyard. The large deck off the back has plenty of seating and is the perfect way to unwind or have morning coffee.
The only reason I took off a point is for cleanliness. Although everything looked neat and in-place, there were quite a few dusty surfaces around the house. A little dust however did not hamper our fun. We still had a relaxing, wonderful time!
The owner was very responsive and easy to work with!
The house is great for a large group to gather and relax in. The game room is wonderful with plenty of arcade type games. Lots of board games also. The kids were very excited about the bunk bed area. Sadly they didn't sleep there as the beds are in a loft type area open to the great room below. It would be too noisy for them to sleep with the adults talking below. The kitchen is large and open to the great room. Lots of refrigerator space and the counter top ice maker was very useful. We were able to cook most of our meals there.
We were a bit disappointed that we didn't actually have a lake view as the trees block the view. We did use the kayaks but did not swim off the backyard as it was mucky. The dock area in the photos is not on property, it is down the street. We thought we could just go in & out of the lake easily but that was not the case.
Lots of deer and other animals. The area is nice and quiet with very friendly neighbors, thankfully. The lock box was empty & I didn't have cell service to reach the owner. Luckily a neighbor helped. It is about 20 minutes to town.
In all, we had a great vacation. The house was spacious enough for all of us (9 adults & 6 children). We could entertain ourselves in the house without annoying each other.
The house is very large, spacious, and beautiful. It has everything needed for a great stay. My friends and I had a wonderful time! David was very responsive and quick to respond to all my questions. Thank you!
